Well this is unfortunate. I'm prepping my '83 E1BE engine to replace my '66 Bronco's 170, and I just noticed there is no clutch bracket boss on the '83 short block. I suppose Ford made some heavy-duty bracket for 3 spds?? I know this isn't "ford six" engine work, but any help is appreciated, specifically help needed on what this bracket looks like. The shop manual did not mention it and "maybe??" had a partial diagram of a bracket. dunno. Thanks in advance.
Here's the comparison photos between the 170 clutch boss and the '83 no boss... look for orange pointer.
